ScottKin Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Going back to the video posted on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tKz-IrhgjQ Visual clues time, folks... 1) White Gloves & Walking Stick & what appears to be parts of a Tuxuedo 2) Table with dinner setting 3) Boot being adjusted/zipped 4) Spoken-word with emphasis "Timeless" 5) Picture of the fountains at The Bellagio (already identified in previous posts), with Japanese text - but look at the page on the left, with a vertical arrow pointing to a circle on a map. 6) Placing 5 Pocketwatches in a wooden box, with one pocketwatch alread inside the box. One pocketwatch is left on top of a pad of paper with a strange drawing to the right of the pocketwatch. 7 pocketwatches in total, with 6 inside the box 7) Penguine Classics edition of "The Histories" by Herodotus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodotus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histories_%28Herodotus%29 8) End-table with what look to be toys 9) Reading a book that appears to have some sort of lineage or geneaology Hmmmmm.... --ScottKin Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/21/#findComment-588163454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

well... Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Would these pics off http://vanishingpointgame.com/biography/ have anything to do with it?

Ambroos Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) We definatelly need to check BOTH Google and Live search... And we need to go back to the wh0isl0ki puzzle! This is one of the hardest puzzles ever... I don't think that the biography has much to do with the puzzles... It's are all puzzles starting from one point (the first image on IEBlog) and ending with a clue... None of them goes further...

ScottKin Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 OOOOH... one detail that I forgot to mention (but I think is important) - My cipher was named "Cipher Key 4.jpg" - presumably there's at least 3 additional ciphers (1, 2, and 3), and possibly more A quick question... In the photo of the wooden box & the letter from Loki - what is that sitting on the letter?

well... Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 How about we bruteforce the urls. I could write a small app for that quickly. is there no way of viewing the structure of the vanishingpointgame site? edit: is it possible the pages only go online when the flash app reports that somebody has completed a puzzle? 2nd edit!: what is the name of that fractal on the bio page, mandelbrot or summat?

gxblast Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 is there no way of viewing the structure of the vanishingpointgame site? not really, unless their was a big flaw which allowed us too, lets keep with the puzzle and the video which have been uploaded. edit: Yes it is possible for the flash to do that send a command to the server and rename the page which sends a note/email to who ever saying how far that "we" have gone. edit 2: yes a couple of posts up their is a program with it which allows you to zoom in Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/21/#findComment-588163495 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambroos Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The flash application sends your key results to a Secured server, and the secure server checks if the key is valid and returns an output to the flash app... The directories are there, but the only way to see te structure is a bruteforce attack...

We got a little confused here... I was replying to inzenity's post, with the "Letter from the desk of Loki" that he was sent and the wooden puzzle-box. There is something that is definitely "electronic" laying on top of the letter. --ScottKin Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/21/#findComment-588163504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
